Reasons Why An Individual May Not Be A Good Candidate For Cosmetic Surgery

Here are some of the reasons patients may not be candidate:

Medical issues – some health conditions, smoking and prescriptions a patient is on can make it unsafe for an elective procedure to be done. A patient being significantly overweight can also be a concern with anesthesia.

Emotional or psychological problems- Along with being physically ready for surgery, a patient needs to be emotionally ready as well. A body will go through many different changes on the road to recovery, and a patient needs to be prepared for that.

Unrealistic expectations– Patients need to understand they can’t have “her breasts” or “his nose”, everyone’s results are different. Characteristics of an individual’s body, how they heal, and genetic make-up are all deciding factors in what their specific end result will be.

No caregiver– A caregiver is required to pick the patient up following surgery and stay with them for at least the first 24 hours. It’s also important to have a good support system to assist with any daily responsibilities a patient is unable to carry out during recovery.

Not willing to follow the process– The doctor gives specific instructions for the patient’s benefit. If a patient refuses to follow directions, this could cause complications to their health and final result.
